Drugstore Products
Drugstores like Matsumoto Kiyodi and Sundrug often offer lower prices than Don Quijote.
I was influenced by a Japanese influencer, and have zero regrets! I'm pretty wary of any type of hair product due to having acne prone skin. This hair oil hasnt caused any issues, and is so light weight that it sinks straight into your hair making it...
8 The Thalasso Balancing Serum & Smooth Repair Hair Oil - 100ml
I use this every night - very hydrating without the heavy, oily, waxy feeling that you get from some lip balms. Definitely one of my favourite Japan purchases, and wishing I had bought 10x more!
DHC Lip Cream
Disclaimer: haven't tried this yet, but bought as it supposedly contains no chemical filters and is good for sensitive skin.
Biore UV Aqua Rich Watery Hold Cream SPF50
This is good for acne prone skin as it contains salicylic acid - I like that it's super foamy and creamy but not drying.
Senka Perfect Whip Premium Clear Beauty Face Foam
These lip balms are supposed to make your lips look plumper and have a slight tingling sensation - not sure about the plumpness effect, but these are great for no makeup days when you still want a bit of subtle colour on the lips.
Rohto Mentholatum Lip Fondue
Very natural looking blush, but pretty long lasting! I find it suitable for oily skin.
Canmake Cream Cheek Blush
These cut nails like butter.
Green Bell Stainless Steel Nail Clipper (G-1205)
Apparel
Highly recommend for travelling - this was our daily bag for sightseeing and go to carry on bag. Super light weight, and can carry so much!
Unisex Utility Shoulder Bag
The warmest and most lightweight thermals. Cheapest to buy in Japan!
UNIQLO Womens Heattech Long Sleeve Shirt
So lightweight, you'll forget you're wearing it. Easily fits all of your essentials like a phone, wallet, kindle, keys, lip balm, passport, etc. I use this for commuting and travelling!
UNIQLO Unisex Round Mini Shoulder Bag
So comfy. So many colours. So versatile. Recommend as an everyday pair of sneakers.

Accommodation
I'm super picky about hotels, and out of the 5 places we stayed, I would only strongly recommend two.
This hotel looks funky in photos, but is so clean, has amazing amenities and the room and bathroom layout feels spacious. Location is also convenient with metro station right next door, and Family Mart and 7-Eleven just around the corner. Would 100% ...
The Royal Park Canvas - Osaka Kitahama
The room is a SUITE - we stayed in the Lake View traditional room, and wanted to extend our stay. The staff are very attentive, everything is spotless, it comes with a free buffet breakfast and traditional keiseki dinner (which was one of the best ...
